Road To Racing

30th January 2018 by Motorcycleminds 2 Comments

Road To Racing – is the first publication of Marta Covioli and Diego Mola, both road racing fans and experts in their own fields.

The book covers the main events of the latest race seasons, lived first hand, becoming a personal and particular journey.

From the astonishing Irish Nationals to the Isle of Man and far-away China the races pictured are:

Tandragee 100
Cookstown 100
North West 200
Tourist Trophy
Armoy Road Races
Ulster GP
Macau GP

are all captured in words and pictures, describing from the inside the unique and exciting world of road races.

This is a journey through the narrow tracks, the muddy paddocks, through the eyes and mind of its protagonists, seven chapters, seven different road races.

The photo on the front cover is of Bruce Anstey on the starting grid a few seconds before the Superbike race at the Ulster Grand Prix.

Diego Mola says that “in returning from Ireland and looking at all the thousands of photos I took, I saw this one for the first time and there was no doubt that this was the photo of the cover of the book.

I showed the photo to Marta who immediately agreed with me, we tried other photos, they were good photos, but … it was not this one!

Those eyes closed looking for the right concentration, the look we can only imagine, the moment before running the fastest road race in the world, I seem to see the calm before the storm.

I hope that everyone who takes this book will understand the love and commitment that Martha and I have put into creating it and the love we feel towards these races”.

DROPPING THE PRICE?

In February 2024 we published an article about motorcycle theft, this was then republished in May this year entitled "Motorcycle Theft and Jolly Good Company"

In the last few months there has been a flurry of campaigns and articles by organisations involved in motorcycle lobbying.
Our article covered the issues like legislation and why part of the problem was the lack of adequate security in the manufacture of motorcycles/scooters/mopeds.

It also explained the reasons for theft, amongst which a major issue being theft for spare parts. We all know that motorcycle parts are very expensive, especially OEM parts (original manufacturer parts). Yet none of the lobbying organisations are prepared to challenge the industry to lower their prices as an attempt or even a gesture to discourage thieves from making money out of spare parts. When the lobbying organisations decide to work hand in hand with industry, it compromises their autonomy.

Then there are the "Clubs" like the Motorcycle Crime Reduction Group which are no more than talk shops where the boys (police, manufacturers, insurance companies, security companies, lobby groups etc) all sit round a table, talk a lot, have a cup of tea and biscuits then do nothing until the next meeting.

Ultimately insurers and motorcycle manufacturers don't care. If anything it gives the insurers the opportunity to increase your premiums and scare you into paying higher rates with the premise that your bike is at risk. investigativeresearch.org/documents/The%20Fear%20Industry.pdf

Also to consider that having your bike stolen can give the manufacturers the opportunity to sell more of them. The best you can get from the police is to be told that bike has been shipped to Eastern Europe rather than ending up in an auction house or in a scrap yard to be sold on in pieces.

So how about it MCIA/ACEM - how about you get the manufacturers to drop the prices of OEM spare parts? You never know, it might just make a difference.
